I made myself a nice little bamboo pipe/chillum type thingy today while sitting around the campfire taking bong hits and cutting bamboo with a katana yes I made this with a fucking katana
it hits nicely. here's the finished product: I cut it a bit shorter because the "bowl" was a little awkwardly far away. it'll be a nice backup piece.
I would, but it was my friend's. things legit, though. cuts through bamboo completely clean, and bamboo is supposed to be similar to bone strength-wise
I dunno why but this awesome thread reminded me of something funny [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r4nYeTflSw[/ame] EDIT: Piece of shit won't embed the video.. oh well
looks good, only thing that sucks is how open the bowl is so dropping your bud is easy. I know it was unavoidable though because the way bamboo is.
lol that video is badass, I've seen it once before. true. I was going to screw a metal bowl into the top originally but I opted to keep it natural plus it makes a nice little scoop so I can scoop right out of my stash
yeah for some reason you occasionally get the https:// instead of http:// had it happen to me the other day, just prune the 's' off of the http and yuh good to go! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r4nYeTflSw [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r4nYeTflSw[/ame]
Looks awesome dude I remember I had a bamboo pipe a while ago me and my buddy made matching bamboo pipes with hand carved wooden bowl peices sticking out of the top. Those were the good old days. Mine got confiscated by my mom in like freshman year of high school. He lost his on a camping trip last year those were the bad old days lol.
thanks all yeah it's fun making a piece. especially back in the day when I couldn't buy ones in stores. I've always been a McGyver smoker
Dude that's fuggin sweet! And you can always say badass things about it like "Yup, I made this myself from the strongest bamboo around and crafted it with the finest katana in the land...no biggie"
you won't be disappointed. it's real easy to make a pipe too if you're so inclined. the only tools I used were a katana and a nail to make the hole I thought about carving some Chinese characters but that was before I wrapped it. my girlfriend is Chinese so I could have written some cool shit.
